I Tiou Lung Dumpling, Taipei

Decorated with Ming Dynasty style furniture, I Tiou Lung was originally famous for its dumplings; freshly wrapped and cooked with each order. While this system creates longer waiting times, the taste certainly justifies the customers' patience. Around noon, local elders like to have their lunches at I Tiou Lung. On weekends, make a reservation or be there early. In addition to dumplings, there are dozens of fried dishes served, as well as pork or beef hot pot, in this bright and clean restaurant. The food is good and well worth a trip.
